In this study, extraction yield of valuable compounds from brewer’s spent grain (BSG) using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) was investigated varying temperature, solvent type, and flow rate at a constant pressure. The results were compared with Soxhlet extractions using the total phenolic compounds (TPC), total flavonoid compounds (TFC), antioxidant activity (AA), reducing sugars (RS), and total

The electrochemical behavior of 5083 aluminum alloy in an alkaline solution in the absence and presence of two green additives extracted from Mentha piperita L ‘MP’ and Lawsonia inermis ‘LI’ was analyzed in this study. Corrosion-related investigations disclosed the adsorptive function of the compounds, which reduced Al parasitic dissolutions and consequent H2 evolutions by about 80% at 800 ppm of each

A new acceptor, benzoylphenyltriazine, was explored as a strong acceptor of thermally-activated delayed-fluorescent (TADF) emitters because of its high external quantum efficiency. The benzoylphenyltriazine acceptor was designed to have strong acceptor strength by modifying a well-known phenyltriazine acceptor with a weak electron-withdrawing benzoyl unit. The extra benzoyl unit strengthened the electron-accepting

In this work, the method (water extraction way) was uesd to acquire Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam leaves extract (AHLLE). We refer to the relevant references on the composition of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam leaves and perform Fourier infrared spectroscopy analysis for AHLLE. It can be concluded that AHLLE contains 2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (DPD), (2R,3R)-2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3

Delivery of the CRISPR ribonucleoprotein (RNP) for homology-directed repair (HDR) has been challenging due to the low efficiency. Herein, we developed a Cas9 conjugate complex system which can induce efficient HDR editing with the use of a minimal amount of carrier material. Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes was purified and conjugated with low molecular weight polymer (LP). The Cas9-LP conjugates were

It has been reported that the addition of graphene oxide (GO) can increase the dispersion and heterogeneous nucleation of layered double hydroxide (LDH), thus providing more active sites, which is more conducive to CO2 adsorption. Herein, we reported alkali metal nitrates ((Li0.3Na0.18K0.52)NO3) promoted LDH and GO composites (LDH/GO) as adsorbents for CO2 capture. The influence of mass ratio of LDH

Production of single-phase materials with multifunctional properties is still a challenge faced by material scientists. In addition, obtaining high spin polarization efficiency in the materials that exhibit multifunctional properties is a big issue. A novel approach is suggested in this work for obtaining multifunctionality and spin polarization in the same material. This approach has combined the

A novel kind of functionalized copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) interlocked polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) microcapsules containing hexadecane as phase change material (PCM) was synthesized targeting thermal buffering application in food packaging. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterizations confirmed the successful functionalization of CuNPs

Recent research on Gut-Brain Axis (GBA) has suggested that the gut luminal environment, including the dietary components and commensal microbiota, could affect behavior, emotion, and cognitive abilities in the brain. Various signaling pathways exist between the gut and the brain, and several studies have implied exosomes could mediate the communication. Current research on GBA has relied heavily on
